Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 83 Changes in the Jia Family

The courtyard is particularly lively today because of He Yuzhu's wedding.

After all, the He family was a local household in the courtyard, and even though his father He Daqing ran away with Widow Bai, they still left behind some connections.

With the help of the deaf old lady, most of the neighbors in the alley also came to lend a hand.

After He Yuzhu went back into the house to try on clothes, Yang Ning nodded to the first and second uncles who looked a little embarrassed to see the Yang family.

"Master Yi, Master Liu, hello."

"Okay, okay!" The first and second uncles nodded in response, but their expressions looked a little unnatural.

After all, it was these two families who were the first to exclude the Yang family back then. Now that they suddenly see the person in question, and that they are living a better life than themselves after moving away, they can't help but feel a little regretful.

Especially the second uncle Liu Haizhong, who now has the obsession of becoming an official. Especially after hearing Xu Damao showing off after attending Yang Ning's wedding last time, he felt even more regretful.

If the Yang family had not been forced to leave back then, when Yang Ning got married, as the second uncle in the courtyard, wouldn't he be able to establish some connections with those leading cadres? If he could catch their eyes, he might have a chance to become a leader.

Even if the situation is bad, if the Yang family is still in the hospital, with his status as the second uncle, Yang Ning can't arrange a small leadership position for himself?
You should know that Xu Damao said that Yang Ning has already been equipped with a car, and it is a private car. This treatment is higher than the treatment of the director of their third steel rolling mill.

Doesn't that mean that Yang Ning is more capable than their factory director? With Yang Ning's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get himself a small leadership position, right?
"It's all the Jia family's fault!" The second uncle said gritting his teeth.

As for the uncle Yi Zhonghai, although he was dazed at first when he saw the Yang family, he quickly calmed down.

After all, he had originally sided with the Jia family because Jia Dongxu and his wife could provide for him in his old age.

No matter how well the Yang family lives, it is impossible for them to let their own son support them in their old age.

Jia Dongxu has already decided to provide for the couple in their old age, and he has a good income himself, so he doesn't have to worry about it too much now.

While the second uncle Liu Haizhong was still regretting in his heart, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai quickly came to his senses.

"Da Gen, you are here, please come in and sit down," he said with the attitude of the host.

Yang Dagen was not surprised to see this, and said casually: "Okay, today we will follow the host's wishes!"

As he said this, he followed the uncle, took his mother and Hu Yinghong to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

After all, the He family’s house was new and they didn’t dare to make it dirty, so the old lady’s house became the place to receive gifts.

In addition to the gift money, my mother also brought a quilt cover. After entering the house and greeting the deaf old lady, Yang Liu handed the quilt cover to the third aunt sitting on the kang, and Hu Yinghong also handed over the thermos bottle.

"Oh, this is your eldest daughter-in-law, she's so pretty!"

The group of middle-aged women in the room were stunned when they saw Yang Liu and Hu Yinghong. It was the third middle-aged woman who reacted first and praised Hu Yinghong enthusiastically.

But he was not lying about it. After all, in this alley, Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu was already very pretty. But compared with Hu Yinghong, there was still a big gap.

Apart from anything else, Hu Yinghong's temperament is far superior to Qin Huairu's.

At this time, Qin Huairu was pregnant again recently, so she followed a few aunts to help in this room and did not go to the kitchen. At this time, she also looked at Hu Yinghong curiously, and after secretly comparing herself with Hu Yinghong, she finally felt that her own granary was sufficient.

Since the death of Jia Zhang, their family has lived a much better life.

First, I transferred my household registration from the countryside to the city. Then my uncle found me a job. Then, with the care of my uncle's family, my life was very comfortable.

A few years ago, the two families secretly became godparents. After I go to work, there is an aunt to take care of the family. Even my son Banggeng sleeps with the uncle and his wife at night.

The baby in my belly now was also conceived at the instigation of an old man.

If their family's situation in the original book were the same, they would not be able to raise more children now. Apart from anything else, even where to live after the children are born would be a problem.

However, according to the private agreement between the two families, if the child is a boy, he must take the uncle's surname.

In the minds of Jia Dongxu and his wife, this was not a big deal. After all, the two families lived so close, and the child was theirs no matter what his surname was.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, the present life is the life she has always dreamed of. As for the life before Jia Zhang's death...

So in her heart, not only did she not have any resentment towards the Yang family, but as time went by, she became more and more grateful to the Yang family.

"Brother Ning, do you have any military uniforms? Get me one too!"

Just when Hu Yinghong and they were chatting with a group of aunts in the old lady's room, Yang Ning was entangled by Xu Damao.

At this moment, he looked at He Yuzhu with envy, who was wearing a brand new military uniform, and came up to Yang Ning and said in a flattering manner.

"If you get married, I'll get you one, okay?" Looking at Xu Damao who looked like a lackey, Yang Ning said with disdain.

He was really convinced. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were not twin brothers, so why did they have to compare everything?
"Don't!" Xu Damao became anxious after hearing Yang Ning's words.

"Brother Ning, let's talk about new ones later. I'm not picky. If you have old ones, fix them up for me first. Otherwise, I don't know how Shazhu will show off to me in the future."

Yang Ning looked at Xu Damao with a helpless look. Seeing that he was not willing to give in, Yang Ning thought of his daily life as a pair of happy enemies with He Yuzhu, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll leave the things with my mom next week. When can you go and get them?"

It was just a set of clothes, so Yang Ning didn't care too much.

Speaking of Xu Damao, Yang Ning doesn't dislike him at all, as this guy is usually not very serious.

But in the original novel, in this courtyard, he was able to live a happy life even though everyone in the courtyard ostracized him. He was one of the rare sober people in the world.

To be honest, if this guy had been born twenty years later and waited until the big wave period, he would definitely be a big shot.

After getting Yang Ning's promise, this guy happily walked towards He Yuzhu who was showing off in a military uniform: "Silly Zhu, don't be so proud. Brother Ning said that he would dress like this for me in a while, and he would get me a new one when I get married."

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao's cocky look, he immediately became unhappy. Am I the protagonist today?
"Grandson, I think you want to be beaten, right?" He raised his fist and walked towards Xu Damao.
